Chords for Secret Sisters - Kathy's Song (Simon & Garfunkel cover) - 8/23/17 - The Kate

_ _ _ Why do we even write set lists?
What's the point?
Just kind of feel it out, you know?
You want to do that?
Yeah, and then_
_ _ _ _ Okay. _
[C] You win this time.
Do what I say.
I'll do what you say this time.
_ So, we're going [Eb] to play another song that we wish that we had written, that we did not write.
_ We have [G] a really good relationship with our dad, and so [Eb] he's been the primary musical influence on us
all the way up until today, even, because he's really incredible with his knowledge of music
and the good [G] music that he's always exposed us to, even though he tortured [Gb] us at Bluegrass festivals for many [C] years.
He's been a very influential [G] music lover for us, and so if I could make a soundtrack [Gb] of our childhood,
[C] there would be an awful lot of Paul Simon on that soundtrack, [A] which is not a [G] bad thing at all.
I actually dreamed [Ebm] about Paul Simon last [D] night.
I did.
I really did.
I think the eclipse put me [Bm] in a weird [Ebm] dream mindset.
[Eb] And I dreamed that I was hanging out_
This is true story.
I'm not making this up.
I dreamed that I was at _ _ this party, and for some reason I really wanted to impress everybody at the party,
but I [C] didn't want to be obnoxious, you know?
And Paul Simon walked into the party, [Bbm] and he was wearing [Eb] a hat that kind of looked like_
The Ritz-Carlton?
No, like the Pope [Eb] hat.
Okay.
And he_
I'm really not making this up.
[N] And he walked in, and he looked at me, and he waved like he knew me.
And I was like, oh, _ that's right.
Paul Simon knows me.
And I was prideful in my dream.
I was prideful about the fact that Pope Paul Simon was [C] an officer.
And he never pimped me.
Yes, so_
I took to that.
I took to it.
I'm thankful that he acknowledged how cool I am to have proud people in my dream.
Anyway.
Yes.
So now that you have that in your head, that [Eb] mental image,
we're going to play one of our very favorite songs that Paul [G] Simon ever wrote.
And don't pick what's going to go.
You always pick a too low.
[Eb] You better pick a high.
_ _ We argue sometimes about if we were signing Garfunkel, who would be Paul and who would [C] be Art?
And Paul goes, no, I'm totally Paul.
I'm Paul.
I want to be_
You're taller.
You're taller.
I have a guitar.
Well, Art probably played guitar some too.
No, he didn't.
[D] Yes, he did.
_ Don't discredit him.
All right, let's play it.
So_ No.
[Bb] _ _ _ _
My partner, Art, is going to play [E] this song.
And I, Paul, [F] am going to sing it.
[Ab] _ _ _ _ _ _
[Eb] _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ Hang on, I have to stop smiling.
You have to stop smiling.
I have to get my mind set. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ I _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ hear the [Eb] _ drizzle of the [Bb] rain
_ [Cm] _ Like a memory [F] it falls _
[Bb] _ Soft and warm _ continues
[Eb] _ _ Tapping _ [Cm] _ _ _
[C] on [F] my roof [Bb] and walls
_ And _ _ _ _ _ _ from [Eb] the shelter of my [Bb] mind
_ [Cm] Through [C] the window [F] of my _ [Bb] eyes
I gaze beyond the [Eb] raindrop _ streams
_ _ [Cm] To England where [F] my heart [Bb] lies _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [Eb] _ _ _
_ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ My [Eb] mind's distracted and
_ [Bb] My [Cm] _ thoughts are many [F] _ miles _ away
[Bb] They lie with you when [Eb] you're asleep _ _ _
[Cm] _ And kiss you when [F] you [Bb] start your day
_ And a song [Eb] I was writing is left undone _
[Cm] I don't [C] know why I spend [F] my [Bb] time
_ Writing _ songs I can't [Eb] believe _ _ _
[Cm] _ The words they [F] tell is [Bb] strange to write _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Eb] _ _ _ _ _
[Bb] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ And [Eb] so you see I have come to [Bb] doubt
_ [Cm] _ All [G] that I [F] once held is true _
[Bb] I stand alone with _
[Eb] _ _ _ _ _ [Cm] _ the only truth [F] I know [Bb] is _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
And as [Eb] I watch the drops of [Bb] _ rain
[Cm] _ Weave their weary paths and I
_ [Bb] _ I know that I am _ [Eb] _ _ _
_ _ _ [Cm] _ there but for the grace of you, [Bb] God _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Eb] _ _ _ _ _ _
[Bb] _ _ _ _ _ _ [Eb] _ _
[Bb] _ _ _ _ _ _ [N] _ _
